<p><b>Explore the foundational and advanced subjects associated with proportional-integral-derivative controllers from leading authors in the field </b></p> <p>In <i>PID Passivity-Based Control of Nonlinear Systems with Applications</i>, expert researchers and authors Drs. Romeo Ortega, Jose Guadalupe Romero, Pablo Borja, and Alejandro Donaire deliver a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the most crucial and relevant concepts in the analysis and design of proportional-integral-derivative controllers using passivity techniques. The accomplished authors present a formal treatment of the recent research in the area and offer readers practical applications of the developed methods to physical systems, including electrical, mechanical, electromechanical, power electronics, and process control. </p> <p>The book offers the material with minimal mathematical background, making it relevant to a wide audience. Familiarity with the theoretical tools reported in the control systems literature is not necessary to understand the concepts contained within. You’ll learn about a wide range of concepts, including disturbance rejection via PID control, PID control of mechanical systems, and Lyapunov stability of PID controllers. </p> <p>Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: </p> <ul> <li>A thorough introduction to a class of physical systems described in the port-Hamiltonian form and a presentation of the systematic procedures to design PID-PBC for them </li> <li>An exploration of the applications to electrical, electromechanical, and process control systems of Lyapunov stability of PID controllers </li> <li>Practical discussions of the regulation and tracking of bilinear systems via PID control and their application to power electronics and thermal process control </li> <li>A concise treatment of the characterization of passive outputs, incremental models, and Port Hamiltonian and Euler-Lagrange systems </li> </ul> <p>Perfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying control systems, <i>PID Passivity-Based Control</i> will also earn a place in the libraries of engineers who practice in this area and seek a one-stop and fully updated reference on the subject. </p>
